Description

⛏️ What is this?

Break any block and it can drop pretty much anything in the game — not just what that block normally gives. Mine dirt and you might walk away with a diamond sword. Mine stone and maybe you get an elytra. It's loot-box mining.

Mobs still drop their normal vanilla loot — this only touches blocks.

🎲 How the odds work

There are 367 possible drops (a few fewer on older versions, and 452 on 26.3, which adds the new Wilderness Bound items like poplar wood, cushions, straw beds and wool/concrete stairs and slabs), from common stuff (sticks, seeds, wool) all the way up to legendary (elytra, dragon egg, nether star). The rarer the block, the better your odds:

Block type Good luck?
Dirt, sand, leaves, snow Mostly junk, but hey, it's technically possible
Stone, wood, cobblestone A bit better
Coal, iron, redstone, copper Now we're talking
Gold ore Pretty good odds
Diamond, emerald, ancient debris Coin flip on something great

Silk Touch doesn't stop this — that's on purpose.

🏆 Achievements

22 custom advancements to chase: full armor and tool sets (up to netherite), all 6 mob heads, all 14 music discs in the loot pool, beating the Wither and the Ender Dragon with the pack turned on, and getting your hands on a legendary drop — or all five of them.

✅ Compatibility

Works from 1.16.x all the way up to 26.3 (including 1.20.x, 1.21.x, 26.1 and 26.2). The pack automatically switches versions behind the scenes, so you don't have to think about it — just drop it in and go. Snapshots and pre-releases aren't officially supported.

📥 Install

Drop the .zip into your world's datapacks/ folder (no need to unzip it), then run /reload or restart the world. You'll get a chat message confirming it's active. Updating? Delete the old version from that folder first.
